To: SATOSHI NAKAMOTO
Do you plan to make an announcement here in the forum you created? What to expect in BTC?
You do realize that Satoshi has been out of bitcoin since forever right? Or is this another case of investing without doing any research whatsoever? The learnings and the effort for getting merits now are considered useless already. I have no more motivation to continue and enjoy the stay in the forum. However, I am still looking for something that could motivate me to stay with the system and the forum.
That's the problem right there. If your motivation to stay in this space is only money, then you're probably better off in other places. It is so sad that my interest now had gone after seeing bad condition of the market and that means I quit already by selling my BTC. I still have my altcoins but I am not interested in it also and will just hold it so that if i can check back I still had hope that I could recover some loss.
Just so you know, in a bear market, alts usually fall a lot harder. That might just be a worse move as it's actually better to hold BTC than alts right now.

Do you at least have any explanation on why you think the bull run will come next monday? Or did you just pull that date out of your ass?
I personally am not a fan of technical analysis, but this is far worse. Price predictions without any explanation whatsoever is just as useful as a one legged man in a kicking contest.

When you say "plastic card" we're you referring to debit cards? What's the point of buying a debit card that contains a name that isn't yours though?

Calm down on the hopium my dude. Not saying that it's impossible(because bitcoin can definitely be surprising), but the upcoming launch of Bakkt still doesn't guarantee a bull run. this price drop was a chinese dump,
And yeah, how did you know that? BTC Core!
And what does this mean? LOL

Yep. Just like everyone said, your funds are gone. Learn from your mistake then move on. Seriously. Play it safe and just grab a hardware wallet already. People who hold significant amounts of money without a hardware wallet is at a huge risk. Hackers are always looking for victims, and this is not going to change any soon. They will be making hack attempts until the day humanity becomes extinct. Look at the bright side though, at least you're not this guy: Topic: I lost my all btc,ltc,doge coins!

Bitcoin is open-source, and the codebase is being altered and updated day by day. Even it was invented by Osama Bin Laden or Adolf Hitler, it doesn't matter.
Yeah but admit it or not, if people knew that bitcoin was the brainchild of such ignominious figures, it will be totally met with angst and disgust from the side of the righteous and morally correct activists lol. I do agree. It would definitely hurt bitcoin, but probably only in terms of price short-mid term(which is not that relevant). But long term, people would probably simply realize that it doesn't matter who created bitcoin because yea, it's open source, and everyone is trying to make it better. Pretty much like how people still live and thrive in Germany even though Hitler was once it's dictator. What matters is the present and the future. Probably not that good of an analogy but you get my point. 😂

People mainly believe that bitcoin is a scam simply because they don't know anything about it; and they're biased into automatically believing what people like Jamie Dimon and Jordan Belfort are saying just because they're "experts" in their field, even though they don't know crap about the technology. Also, probably mostly because all they see in the news about bitcoin are 90% negative news.
Also, what the heck is that title? LOL. "Bitcoin facts revealed"

Go plant your bitcoin in a pot and water it daily.
Seriously, there's no place you can deposit your bitcoin and constantly receive free money. If you want your bitcoin stack to grow, either you start a business or you go get a job. Stop being too lazy and stop looking for free money.

Don't underestimate the sheer carelessness of people.
I hear you there, bro. But man...how could you own that much crypto and not safeguard it better than he apparently did? If I owned that much, I'd have the private keys locked up in an underground bunker or something. I'm not even sure I'd be comfortable owning that amount of crypto at all, given how much hacking and theft goes on. Yowza. I don't even understand either mate. Last year even though I only had small fractions of a bitcoin I was so paranoid to immediately purchase a hardware wallet. Most people are just simply underestimating what hackers can do to attempt to steal their funds I guess.

I don't believe it, there's no way someone has this much crypto just sitting on an standard PC wallet. I was paranoid to the max with a paper wallet with a handful of coins. Multiple hardware wallets and never entering the seed words on anything is the way you do it.
While I'm not saying that OP really does own those coins, trust me. Don't underestimate the sheer carelessness of people. If I remember correctly, it was just a month ago whereas a dude with a million dollars worth of coins and tokens got his exchange account hacked. And it's not even in a well known exchange like Binance or Bitfinex, it was in a small exchange called COSS.

@milewilda
Considering that the majority of the people falling for these sites have an IQ well below average, the site's layout is appealing enough to trap them, and keep them entertained for a good while.
I have seen worse sites represent ICO projects and they raised millions during the boom. I doubt they spent more than a couple of hours to set everything up, which yielded millions effortlessly. It's crazy if you think about it.
If this site generates the operators a decent monthly paycheck, they will continue to keep it live, if not, they'll dump it and move on to the next site with a new domain attached to it.
This. As a person who knows decent web development(HTML/CSS), I would probably be rich by now if I didn't have morals. Fuck me.

Bitcon have 10 years, too much time to scale and not scaled yet, its a shame like says Roger Ver. this moment for the altcoins, loosing bad, they are kicking our ass, they even talk about his coins in this forum called "Bitcointalk", we need to fight back and fast or else we will loose the war.
Bitcoin suddenly boomed up hence bitcoin didn't scale well. Now though? While not yet totally ready for microtrasactions, bitcoin is working fine. I could easily send BTC with only a fee of a few cents. Not to mention LN is moving fast. To be honest, most of the people that are saying that bitcoin is slow are the ones who doesn't actually use bitcoin to transact. We all have our faith in LN that many important people says that will not work and the most important engineers work for free. Bitcoin Foundation dont have money, lives from 10€/month each partner sends them and if you ask them some money to start a bitcoin project they say they dont have, so, why not to take the money that is lost to finance bitcoin evolution?
And where did you get those information? Can you point me to sources to prove these points? We are loosing in this moment for the altcoins, loosing bad, they are kicking our ass, they even talk about his coins in this forum called "Bitcointalk", we need to fight back and fast or else we will loose the war.
If you think bitcoin is losing to altcoins then you simply don't understand bitcoin, and you're just probably one of those people who think that transaction fees are the only important factor in having a successful cryptocurrency. Even all the altcoins combined are still significantly dwarfed by bitcoin in terms of everything.

Holy crap. That's a lot of coins right there, assuming that those addresses are indeed yours.
To the beginners that are reading: Take this as a perfect example on why you should actually focus and spend a lot of time into making sure that your coins and tokens are actually secure. If this is true, this is A LOT of money lost. Like jeebus, no doubt that I would be suicidal. Unfortunately your funds are gone. You can't reverse transactions. Best of luck going forward. yikes

Taking a look at the website alone, it looks like it was made in 15 minutes. Even my first ever small website I made in 2010 looks better. That itself should be a huge red flag. Also, based on their FAQ: " Many of our top members are earning more then 200$ per day and 5,000$+ per month" Based on their whois information, the creation date of the domain was in 2018-11-06. That should be pretty much self explanatory. There's no chance to close that website if they earn money.
Tell that to the people who invested their money in Bitconnect. Just going to place this here just so if you don't know what I'm talking about: https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/01/17/bitconnect-bitcoin-scam-cryptocurrency/

Well done. Kahit di ako miner, ok na ung ganyan ung bisyo natin. 👍
So nasa bitcointalk na pala kayo since January 2014. Noice. Musta signature campaign bounties nung time na un? Gaano kalaki difference ng binibigay ng mga signature campaigns dati compared sa ngayon? haha

... Bitcoin is still in it's very early stages. I assume there will be better solutions on handling private keys in the future. There's nothing you can do with transaction fees. Without transaction fees, the mempool will be spammed to oblivion. But wait till the lightning network is ready, then we'll see. 2 nd
... Why should you care what people want to do with their money? If they want to spend, let them spend. If they want to hold, let them hold. And how is that keeping bitcoin from being decentralized? tldr; let people do what they want to do with their money3 rd
... You people should stop being too obsessed on who Satoshi is. Thank him for his creation, then let him be. Like what the hell. He/she/they wanted to remain anonymous for a reason. Also, learn how to quote replies.

I’m new as a freelancer and have been comparing what is the best platform to start, but I don’t understand why people prefer platforms with bank account association, instead of platforms paying in crypto or Bitcoin?. Could you help me to understand, since I have seen many comments describing recurrent problems and high commissions in platforms paying by bank transfer like upwork or fiverr.
Otherwise, I have heard that the commissions and even the payment guarantees are better in platforms paying in crypto just like cryptogrind or xbtfreelancer. Then my question is why the freelancers still prefer the bank account platforms if they present problems very constantly in comparison with the cryptocurrencies platforms for freelancers?
Simple. Not all people who do work on these freelancing sites doesn't have much idea on whats crypto is all about and only a few will really jump into crypto-based freelancing sites because they do know on whats the advantage of it but overall majority online workers will always preferred the traditional ways even they do know the flaws. In addition to this, like it or not, freelance sites like Fiverr are receiving significantly more gig buyers and sellers compared to bitcoin freelance platforms. Fiverr has a significantly better UI/UX too(in my opinion, at least), compared to sites like XBTFreelancer, which I think is the best right now compared to others that also accepts crypto.

Well theres a broadcast button which ive tried allready..then theres just a copy of the outputs and transaction ID...everytime i try to hit broadcast i get an error message n64dust...mind you im sending 50mbtc as i allways do and never had issue in the past...soneone told me it may be a bug? Im a tech newb so please bare w me Thanks I'm not 100% sure with why your wallet is having that error, but I suggest trying to uninstall your current Electrum and installing the latest version from https://electrum.org/#download. But first make sure that your private keys are backed up.

If the transaction says "local", it seems that your transaction probably has been created "locally" on your wallet, but wasn't broadcasted. Can you try to tap on the transaction and see what options you have? I personally haven't tried out the Android app so I'm really not sure what the UI options are.
You can verify on a block explorer like Blockchain.com to confirm if the funds are still in your wallet.

The Google PlayStore sure does have a good number of malicious apps due to Google being less strict compared to Apple's App Store. When you're planning on downloading a certain Android wallet, I suggest going to the wallet's main website instead, then click on the PlayStore link from there. It just gives you more guarantee that you're actually viewing the correct app on Google PlayStore; or, you could download the official .apks on their site as an alternative. The App Store and PlayStore links from the app's websites usually looks like this:
